Jocassee Gorges spotlighted

The current issue of National Geographic includes the Jocassee Gorges as one of the world’s 50 “last great places.” Ken Sloan, the executive director of Mountain Lakes CVB, says he had no idea the magazine was going to include the Blue Ridge foothills property as a great destination place but, in his opinion, it’s going to be a great help in marketing what Oconee has to offer the visitor. For Oconeeans wishing to acquire a copy of the magazine as a keepsake, finding one might be task. Sloan bought all 12 copies on sale at Ingles.
